I sent this email in My Fathers Honor on his birthday the year of his passing. It was sent back to me today. Its still so True on how I feel to this very day. From: Michael Brue [mailto:michaelbrue@gmail] Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2010 12:32 AM Subject: Happy Birthday! to my Father Michael J Brue Sr. My father was the superhero in my life. It is painful for me each and every day but today was especially hard being that he truly cannot hear me when I call out to him, he cannot answer my text messages and my emails. I wrestle with the WHY question on so many fronts. I miss his face, I miss hearing him laugh, I miss him chatting with me like I was just one of the guys. Nothing I try can fill this gaping hole in my heart but I do find peace in knowing he loved me, had nothing but love, admiration and respect for each of you. My dad struggled in his life to figure it all out just like each of us, I do believe in the end he figured it out. He was who he was, where he was, whenever he was there. I can only hope that my children have the same heartfelt love for me as I have for him. I find him popping up in everything I do. One thing he never gave up no matter what were his dreams and his beliefs, so in honoring him keep dreaming and keep believing! I am reading this new book called Start Where You Are by Chris Gardener, he was the guy, father that the story Pursuit of Happyness was written after and later turned into a Movie starring Will Smith. If you have not seen the movie you should. I got a chance to hear him speak in person as he is now a public speaker nationally and spoke at a KW convention, he was Powerful, and of course I couldnt make it through listening to his Life’s struggles about a young dad and caring for his infant son without an internal breakdown. But don’t worry I would never let anyone see that externally. So my message to you is Start Where You Are, don’t wait til after that next thing. I also find peace in knowing that now he watches me from an aerial view, although I can’t find justice in losing my father I can’t help but think he is at peace. Proudly looking down on all of us shouting Go For It! Do it your way! Don’t listen to the BS Just Do It! Wanting us to never give up and never give in! I re-read a letter that he wrote to me shortly after the birth of my son and at the time I didnt get it but I so get what he was saying now. I have attached a few photos of happy memories of my father to share with you. Share this with whomever you wish as I do not want anyone to be left out, I did emails by memory. Happy Birthday Dad! Cheers to Honoring you! Thank you for every minute!
